Reading: Students finished Owl in the Shower a couple of weeks ago. Their tests will be coming home on Friday. We are now getting back into our Daily 5 routine. During Daily 5, students may be silent reading, reading with a partner, listen to reading on the computer, or working with me or Ms. Peavey and forming reading goals.

Math: We have moved on to Unit 6. We are not doing the lessons in order for this unit. Last week students learned how to do traditional long division. We are taking a little break from division now and working on measuring angles with half and full circle protractors.

Science: This week we are finishing our land and water erosion unit. We have planted seeds in our land and water tubs. We will conduct some river erosion experiments to see if having plants on the cliff help prevent erosion. We will be having our final quiz on Friday (nothing too huge or scary).
